SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This script takes the options to contact a weblog server via XML-RPC. It will download the last entries and will create an XML document on STDOUT.

As this script is based on Net::Blogger, it supports the same engines mentioned there.

Options

Following options are understood:

--Username=username (no default)

If the user name is necessary to get access to the weblog you can set it.

--Password=password (no default)

Here you can set the password for the user name.

--AppKey=appkey (default: DDA6B2B7721C8B11DA4E6388CC0287CB0F33F2EB)

The application has usurped one key. You can override this if you own another key.

--debug (default: off)

If set, there will be some debugging info on STDOUT. This means that the output is not any longer ONE XML document.

--Proxy=xml-rpc-proxy (no default)

This is used to specify the XML-RPC proxy on the server there (this is NOT your HTTP_PROXY).

--blogid=id (no default)

To specify your particular blog you can either use the id or the name (see blogname option).

--blogname=blogname (no default)

If this option is provided a request against the server will be used to determine the id of the blog for this particular user.

--nrposts=integer (default: 20)

Here you can control how many entries should be downloaded.
